Comparative Analysis of Antioxidant Properties of Comenic Acid and Potassium Comenate in Modeled Immobilization Stress

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2015 Aug;159(4):466-8. doi: 10.1007/s10517-015-2993-7. Epub 2015 Sep 21.

Abstract

We studied antioxidant protective effect of comenic acid and potassium comenate in doses of 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg under conditions of oxidative stress in the brain of mice exposed to immobilization stress. Administration of potassium comenate and comenic acid in the above doses for 3 days before stress prevented the development of oxidative processes in the brain of stressed animals. The antioxidant effect of potassium comenate more pronounced.

Keywords: comenic acid; free radical oxidation; malondialdehyde; mouse brain; potassium comenate.
